Happy St. Patrick's Day

Nubar Meadow Sparkle + Nubar Grass Green Glitter + NOPI Brilliant Idea

The other day at Target I picked up Nicole by OPI's Brilliant Idea. This is part of the Target Exclusive Spring Collection. I really am liking these Target Exclusives! On its own, Brilliant Idea is a monochromatic glitter, made up of mostly micro glitter and a pinch of larger particles in a clear base. Its a spring green color that is leaning very yellow. Its pretty all on its own and can be worn by its self in just 2 coats.

I, of course, wasn't satisfied. In this manicure I layered one coat of Nubar Meadow Sparkle, which is very close to Brilliant Idea, perhaps slightly less yellow and more cool in tone. Then 1 coat of Nubar Grass Green Glitter, which is a bright, true green emerald color. Then I put NOPI Brilliant Idea on last.

The combination gives it a lovely depth. Its all green, but varying shades.

Sugary Sweet Baby Pink

This is Nubar Baby Pink topped with Misa Sweet Pleasures and INM Out The Door Northern Lights. Sweet Pleasures is so much fun, it has a blue sparkle. Northern Lights is a tiny holographic glitter/sparkle. I love holo sparkle top coats, I have several kinds. I like Northern Lights, because the glitter pieces are very tiny and almost invisible and the clear base is not milky or cloudy, which doesn't change the color beneath.
